Desktops are here to stay :-)) In a classic dismissal of industry trends (one that they themselves initiated no less) they’ve migrated the screen to the keyboard instead of the keyboard to the screen. This is a very smart move IMO and after watching nearly 30 years of Apple launches I can’t help thinking it's a bit of a seminal event, especially for those of us developers who didn’t jump unhedged onto the mobile-tech bandwagon.
I’ve always thought that 4D made the right decision to keep the desktop product alive and evolve it. That decision has just had a huge endorsement from Apple in that they’ve recognised that power-software is ultimately a tool that starts and ends with a steering wheel, however many features may be in play. I am very pleased about this and I think all 4D people should B2. (Sorry about the shorthand - been reading too many twitter feeds of people complaining about a touch strip rather than a touch screen. It’s ok, they just haven’t thought it through).
